We may as well, for God will certainly retain it whether we leave it to Him or not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8495</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If it will feed nothing else, it will feed my revenge. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54099]]></link><description><![CDATA[If it will feed nothing else, it will feed my revenge.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54099</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're moving ahead.
